Last night of the Missus!

Here are a couple of the photos from Papa’s Tapas the other night:

There was a picture of the missus and me too, but it didn't come out as well as these ones.

And here is me proving I have done the Trident dive (I wonder if Nike cares about the copyright infringement?):

After the first day of the IDC, Noé and Célia also offered to make dinner for the missus, James and I to celebrate our success on getting here…a couple of pics from dinner….including one of James enjoying the real Canadian maple syrup that was poured on the crepes that were served as dessert a little too much:

Oh....and the beach right in front of where the IDC is being taught:

So, today was a much better day on the IDC…I didn’t feel half as bad as I did yesterday at getting the shitty score on my physics exam. And we had to do another exam and I got 100%…..yay me!!

We also had to do a presentation with one of our fellow IDC’ers. I was paired up with Mo, our Israeli friend. We smoked our presentation. At the end of each presentation, we were asked questions by Jonas and Sean (another instructor) to see if we knew all we had to know about the specific area that we had given the presentation on. Mo and I didn’t get asked any questions….we simply nailed it and so there wasn’t anything to ask. Yup, I rock.

Although Tim has decided to be an ass…..we were given two confined water skills that we have to brief and demonstrate tomorrow…as well as act as if the rest of our classmates are students and have them perform the skill after we have demonstrated it. The “students” are then given specific things to do wrong to see if we can spot the mistake and have the student correct it. The two skills I have been assigned are recovering a regulator (not sooooo concerned about this one) and surfacing an unconscious diver. I hated that skill while I was doing my rescue course, so I think it will still suck big time when I have to demonstrate it.

Tim let me in on a little secret too…..he had heard me mention a couple of weeks ago that I hadn’t really had the opportunity to see that skill practiced much, so I was concerned if it might come up during the IDC….wankster that he is, he completely remembered that and so specifically set that skill aside for me….jackass!!

Well, it is the missus’ last night here tonight…she heads back on the homeward journey tomorrow afternoon, so a short blog…we’re off for dinner and massages……
